I've been using my laptop on a local wireless net here. My
desktop is the 'main computer', with the modem and the shared
RAS connection. The desktop also has some other things that
it'd be nice to get at occasionally.... Anyhow, it'd be nice
at least to be able to hang up and dial the RAS connection
'remotely' from my laptop [I have the connection set to 'dial
when needed' but that doesn't seem to be working, so I just
walk over to the desktop and click the dial-icon...
similarly, when I'm done with my laptop, I trek over and
explicitly hang up the connection].
Another way to *control* the dial-up connection from the laptop
is to use Internet Gateway Device Discovery and Control.
Help and Support has the following on IGDDC:
--------------------------------
Internet Gateway Device Discovery and Control
By default, the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) public
Internet connection can be controlled using Internet Gateway
Device Discovery and Control.
With Internet Gateway Device Discovery and Control, users of
ICS computers on your network can:
-View statistics about the shared Internet connection.
-Monitor the status of the shared Internet connection.
-Remotely connect or disconnect the shared Internet
connection.
-Use an icon, displayed in the notification area on the
taskbar, to monitor and control the shared Internet connection.
-Configure service mappings.
For more information about Internet Gateway Device Discovery
and Control, see Using Internet Gateway Device Discovery and
Control.
The administrator of the computer that connects directly to the
Internet can disable the options listed above for users of the
other computers on the home or small office network. For more
information, see Set permission for shared Internet connection
control and Control the shared Internet connection.
Notes
To enable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) with Internet
Gateway Device Discovery and Control on computers running
Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, or Windows Millennium
Edition, run the Network Setup Wizard from the CD or floppy
disk on those computers. For more information about the Network
Setup Wizard, click Related Topics.
For ICS with Internet Gateway Device Discovery and Control to
work on computers running Windows 98, Windows 98 Second
Edition, and Windows Millennium Edition, Internet Explorer
version 5.01 or later must be installed.
For ICS Internet Gateway Device Discovery and Control to work,
you must select UPnP framework on the Exceptions tab in Windows
Firewall.
